Thank for looking into this issue!

I just tried on my Bookworm system (bash 5.2.15-2+b7) and the bug with \M-p
and \M-n still seems present there. I can't see anything in the Changelog
since then that would suggest a fix. I also checked the upstream bash
changelog, and found nothing relevant there; but since it's a libreadline
bug, that's not surprising.

Bash, as far as I can tell, is not dynamically linked against libreadline8.
So to test libreadline8, I tested Lua 5.4 (built from source against the
system libreadline8, in my case libreadline8 version 8.2-1.3). I think this
is sufficient then to reopen the bug, since it's the same version of
libreadline8 upstream as you tested, and I can't see anything in the Debian
changelog since -1.3 that would have affected this bug. Again, \M-n and
\M-p do not work.

(I did not test the separate problem with \C-u, but Vincent Lefèvre has
addressed that.)
